Got me doing the wrong things
Got me hating and loving life
Got me on my knees begging for mercy
Wanting you to take me once again
Bring me to a whole

With the light to guide me from your eyes
Your smile made the sun rise
Your touch melts the coldness away
You were my lover, my protector
You brought me out of darkness
Gave me hope and a will to survive

The love you gave me made the world alive
You my king and I your queen
Taught me how to love once more
Not knowing the price
I was to be your wife
Our lives and bodies intertwine

Only to wake to find it was a dream
The look in your eyes went from lust to hate
You wounded me in way words can't describe
You left me without uttering a single goodbye

Drowning in my own misery
Stranded on an island
Surrounded by the empty sea
Been waiting for the sun to rise
Engulfed by the flames of darkness
Searching for a friendly face
In a crowd of lonely strangers
Straggling between lines of reality and fantasy
What is real and what is fake

Who is to judge in this place
The rain pours every night
Filling the sea with tears
Searching for that someone
To take away my fears
Put the past behind, and end this insanity
Take back the love that has been stolen
To replace the hatred that had befallen
And lift me off this forsaken island

What is life
Give me a knife
To end my life
End the emptiness inside
This can't be what life is really like

How blind I must have been
Not to see my life flash before my eyes
This life is not meant for me
Leave me alone and let me be
I don't need the pity you have given me
Look at what your sheltering has done to me

If I had known what it was like
Would I still be the same
Am I the one to blame
Your trickery was cruel and evil
To believe there could be everlasting love
To make life seem to be a gift from up above
To make me want something that won't ever be
So tell me now, is this what life is meant to be?

Don't know which right choice to make
Wish that everyone would wake
Open their eyes and see life
Not the "Society's" lie

Everything isn't black or white
So how do you judge what is right
Taught to think by the people before us
What's the deal with all the fuss

Where's this thing we call trust
Hidden beneath all the rust
Weathered away like our innocent
Taught that it's just another incident

To walk away from it blindly
Giving it up gladly
In exchange for a mask
That doesn't let you look back

And invisible chains
That bind you to the society

In time of the lords
The fruit was ripening
Reaping their rewards
Time was left crying

Their children sent to die
For an unreachable dream
They looked to the dark sky
Spirits protested with screams

The darkness fell
Lasting glory they seek
Where the lovers well
The glorious gods weep

On mortal hands
Where the fate lays
With unwritten plans
They fought and slay

Turning the dream into desire
Everything was torn asunder
They gather by the deadly fire
Sky pleaded with breaking thunder

Time is but nigh spent
Victories being won in wars
This is what heaven has sent
In the time of the lords

You think talking is the cure
Somehow I remain unsure
That speaking is the way to light
To cast away the gloom
My throat scratches from the tears
Seems I've been silent for years
Now my endless talking will surely be my doom
You say I can get better
Though I am scarred by the scarlet letter
The darkness is my friend
And will always have its way
My voice is gone as I lay crying
On the floor I bleed here dying
Stubborn enough to say
"There's nothing left to say"

It's more than thoughts
On paper
It's my life, my soul
My lifeline
The rope I cling to when life gets
To tough
For me to handle
Can't breathe
It's more than a melody in
My head
It's the reserve
I breathe

My oxygen fuel in the form
Of ink
Tracing black ribbons across
White paper
The most beautiful image in the world
With this pen I can create
An entire universe in a single stroke
My hand, my mind, my love
My essence
